Get over to the bourbon thread.

Time for you to branch out.

The amount of people that die here every summer from heat related issues is saddening. People come from out of town and try to go hiking in the summer and just die. I'm not sure if folks don't think dry heat is dangerous or what? But it happens multiple times per summer

Dry heat is actually WORSE and causes more problems because people NEVER realize they are sweating or losing moisture because it evaporates immediately with rarely any skin moisture.

My buddy was a park ranger in Las Vegas near Hoover dam and Lake Mead and he would tell me stories of all the people he would need to rescue who went hiking in 100 degree weather with a single pint of water. :shake:

Hire a Mexican. Problem solved.

Yep, gotta hydrate in the heat. Know the symptoms of when you are starting to get into trouble. Hope you are ok MTG10.

I spent 7 hours down in my shop yesterday cleaning and organizing after three hours of spraying the yard and house. It was over a 100 in there but I drank plenty of water and gatorade.

I started feeling some early signs of cramping about lunch time and came up to the house and cooled off while eating lunch.

No issues other than it was hotter than shit.

Damn! Serious.

5 years ago I got heat exhaustion down in Florida, playing golf and drinking beer instead of water.

$5000 lesson by the time I was done.

So you got hit by the car that what's name fiancee was driving.

I don't agree with the pussy part but........

Most on here have been down here on vacation in the summer, its as hot as it gets in the USA in the summer. The"feels like" temp has been over 100 for over 7 weeks now. You can get in trouble in a couple of hours without water. Especially drinking beer in the heat at the beach, golfing, amusement parks etc. put some water in you in between beers.

I've been walking an average of 4.7 miles every single day down here in the Florida heat for over 6 months. No issues. The keys is to hydrate, check your heart rate, find some shade every mile or two rest for a few minutes and drink more water. Just my two cents and experience.

If you are not eating, make sure you get some isotonic fluids. Many studies of marathoners suggest that excessive hydration with water is a big contributor to hyponatremia

I’m guessing Sauto isn’t a marathon runner. Or anorexic.

The heat has been brutal this year. If my outside work isn’t done by noon, it’s not getting done that day.

Only if you think so!

I’m sure she would make you feel much better.

Neither. I eat lunch every day too.

I try to not run anymore. Always leads to more trouble if they catch you

The key is to slowly acclimate yourself to the heat. I go for walks in the heat of the day starting in March. Now 96 feels like just another day.

I agree with this. I’m sure that since I’ve been walking since January when it was 72, and the weather warms up over the last 6 months to the sauna it is now. It’s probably easier than trying to start now.
